UNI Professors Awarded $425,000 to Study Imbalance in Child Welfare System
Posted 3 January, 2012
Two
professors at the University of Northern Iowa, Mark Grey and Michele
Devlin, have been awarded a $425,000 multi-year contract with the Iowa
Department of Human Services (DHS) to address disproportionate
immigrant and minority over-representation in the child welfare system.
"Minority
over-representation in the child welfare system is a serious issue
facing our state and nation," said Gloria Gibson, executive vice
president and provost at UNI. "This award will not only help alleviate
the disproportionate burden experienced by immigrants and minorities in
the state's child welfare system, but will also contribute to UNI's
focus on applied community engagement."
The Iowa DHS is
committed to meeting the child welfare needs of all residents of the
state in an equitable and fair manner. Grey and Devlin plan on working
with DHS staff to review current policies, determine the effectiveness
of the programs, provide cross-cultural training and develop a
statewide approach to reducing the over-representation of minorities in
the child welfare system. They will serve as co-directors and lead
consultants for this project while involving a number of other UNI
faculty with migration and ethnic minority expertise around campus.
